It is with great pleasure that I announce a major milestone in the journey of the Annals of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ACNM)—our official inclusion in Scopus in 2025. Building upon our indexing in KoreaMed in 2022 and accreditation by the Korean Citation Index (KCI) in 2024, this achievement marks ACNM’s transition from a regional publication to an internationally recognized scientific journal.
Since it was launched as the official journal of the Asian Society of Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition (ASSMN), ACNM has consistently pursued excellence in disseminating high-quality research in clinical nutrition and metabolism. Our mission has been clear: to contribute to the health of human beings by improving clinical nutrition practice through scientific research, including basic science and clinical studies related to nutrition and metabolism.
The journal’s scope encompasses a wide range of topics, including nutritional screening and assessment, perioperative nutrition, nutrition therapy in both acute and chronic disease, critical care nutrition, optimization of enteral and parenteral therapy, and innovative diagnostic or interventional techniques for metabolic and nutritional management. We also welcome nationwide or regional nutrition surveys and laboratory-based investigations that connect fundamental science with clinical practice.
While ACNM’s regional focus is primarily Asia, the journal has always been open to contributions from researchers worldwide. This inclusiveness reflects our commitment to cultivating an international academic community that values scientific collaboration and the advancement of nutritional care across diverse healthcare systems.
The indexing of ACNM in Scopus is not merely a recognition of past accomplishments but also marks a transition point where we must take on greater responsibility. It compels us to strengthen our editorial standards, uphold transparency and integrity in scientific publishing, and expand our global reach. Moving forward, we aim to improve the quality and expand the impact of the journal through rigorous peer review, editorial professionalism, and the publication of studies that influence both policy and practice in clinical nutrition.
On behalf of the editorial board, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our authors, reviewers, and readers for their unwavering support. This achievement belongs to every member of our academic community who has contributed their time, expertise, and passion. Together, we will continue to advance the science and practice of clinical nutrition and metabolism for the benefit of patients and society more broadly.
